War-torn African country Libya could get back on track if it wanted to, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested on Thursday.
Kerry insinuated that it shouldn't be too hard for Libya and its population of just over six million people given the country's small size and wealth of resources.
After all, Libya's roughly the same size as his home state of Massachusetts, the former Senator said.
'I know something about what you can provide when you want to.'

Boy is he wrong. I mean, Libya isn't nearly as corrupt, debt-ladden or Communistic as Massachusetts.

Yeah, he would totally dock his ship in Algeria or Egypt to save on taxes.

Libya (1759540 km²) is 64.63 times as big as Massachusetts (US) (27226 km²).
Lurch is full of ____.

Easier said than done after your country is bombed into rubble and left to deal with a dozen competing terrorist organizations.

Would it be impolite to mention that this moron who is making this country a laughing stock for the rest of the Diplomatic world was the 2004 Democrat nominee for President and came just a few voting percentage point away from actually being elected.
Or that he has never had a real job since being booted out of the Navy 40 some years ago. Marrying rich wives may hard work but it is not a job

Libya Total Area: 700,000 sq miles
Massachusetts Area: 10,554 sq. miles.
Yeah, I suppose give or take a few square miles that’s pretty close.
